This is an easy and delicious butter cake recipe. It’s perfect for any occasion. Let’s make a yummy cake in a Bundt pan!

Ingredients:

  • Unsalted Butter: 1 cup (225g), softened
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 ½ cups (300g)
  • Eggs: 4, at room temperature
  • Vanilla Extract: 2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups (360g)
  • Baking Powder: 1 tbsp
  • Salt: ½ tsp
  • Milk: 1 cup (240ml)
  • Powdered Sugar: for dusting (optional)

Before baking, let your butter and eggs warm up to room temperature. This makes mixing easier. Also, remember to grease your Bundt pan so the cake doesn’t stick. Now, let’s bake!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-12 cup Bundt pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour into Bundt Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan, spreading evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Unmold: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Finishing Touch: Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar for a classic look.
